IMO that proves it can't be a great TV if you can get a 73 in for 800 dollars...

Big doesn't necessarily mean good picture.

Doesn't prove anything, it's regularly $1300-$1500. Reviews all over the internet give it great reviews. It's just not for everyone because it's isn't 2" thin. It is still super thin compared to other rear projection HDTV's and the picture is better than a typical rear projection Tv.

They can do HD conversions to previously made movies/TV shows that weren't filmed in HD, but they don't always come out perfect. For example, I've got a copy of Stargate in Blu Ray that wasn't very well done.

HD conversion means that the it was shot on film but at the time standard def TV technology limited how it could be presented to the home audience. Now that Blu-ray and 1080P has come along they re-release with less compression and more definition than it would have had 15 years ago, hence HD conversion. But film still has more definition than what Blu-ray and our TVs can accomodate. Even if technology for home viewing could display much higher definition, it will still look no better than the original film print.
